Derrick Henry News
Sunday, October 25, 12:46 PM
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still carries a substantial workload, but poor efficiency and a lack of scoring chances have produced consecutive fantasy disappointments, including just 45 rushing yards on 17 carries without a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Henry averaged a season-low 2.6 yards per attempt, with his longest run gaining only nine yards. He also caught one of two targets for four yards, finishing with 5.9 PPR fantasy points. Baltimore led 13-0 at halftime but failed to score after the break, with three trips inside Cincinnati's 15-yard line producing only six points. Henry has now rushed for 103 yards on 34 carries without a touchdown over his last two games, including a 58-yard performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6 that featured a lost fumble. Baltimore visits the Buffalo Bills in Week 8, when Lamar Jackson (ankle) could potentially return after missing three games.

Aaron Jones Sr. News
Wednesday, October 28, 10:22 AM
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that running back Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Jones is considered day-to-day after aggravating a pre-existing knee injury. The 31-year-old veteran's injury is not believed to be serious, but it puts his availability in question for the upcoming Week 8 matchup on the road against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Jones was effective as the Vikings' bell-cow back early in the year with Jordan Mason on Injured Reserve due to a thumb injury, but with Mason returning in last week's victory over the Indianapolis Colts, Jones' role took a sharp drop, as he handled a season-low eight rushing attempts for 26 yards and caught his only target in the passing game for no gain. It came after he had a season-high 25 carries for 113 yards and a score in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. If both Jones and Mason are healthy, Jones is going to operate in a backfield timeshare, which will make him a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex option. Fantasy managers should be preparing for the possibility of being without Jones this weekend in Motown.
